Carlsbad is making it easier to explore its diverse trail network, by launching a new trail hiking portal, GoHike Carlsbad. Have instant access to everything you want to know about Carlsbad’s trails in real time, such as:
• Points of interest for each trail
• Trail length
• Surface type of trail
• Degree of difficulty
• Trail connectivity
• Parking locations
GoHike Carlsbad is interactive and includes maps and navigational tools that can pinpoint a hiker’s location along the trail when your smartphone is connected to mobile data service or WIFI. The dot will show you where you are in real time and provide options for connecting to other trails, sidewalks and cross streets.
It also supports the city’s sustainability goals by providing an alternative to printed maps.
Hikers can access it from our trails page or at www.carlsbadca.gov/gohike. Just bookmark it on your mobile device or to enjoy even more great services the city has to offer, download our existing CarlsbadConnects app where you can quickly access GoHike Carlsbad under Parks & Recreation.
The City of Carlsbad has approximately 67 miles of trails including easy scenic strolls, challenging hikes, mountain biking and beautiful views, supporting a healthy, active lifestyle while protecting and preserving open space for community members. While the citywide trails system provides many recreational opportunities to enjoy the city’s unique natural areas, it also provides a comprehensive network for non-motorized transportation routes, connecting neighborhoods to commercial and business areas, schools, parks and beaches.
